FAO is delivering large-scale, strategic combinations of assistance to rural people at high risk, providing them with cash-transfers for food purchases while giving them the means to continue farming, raising animals, and producing crops now that the Gu rains have started.

Key FAO deliveries since the start of the current crisis include: USD 8.5 million in cash payments to rural families, lifesaving veterinary treatments for nearly 9 million animals, and 848 tonnes of seeds to farmers ahead of the Gu growing season
